Abstract

In the latest decade, two-dimensional (2D) π-d conjugated metal organic frameworks (MOFs) constructed from metal ions with square-planar coordination geometry and benzene- or triphenylene-derived ligands with ortho-disubstituted N, O, or S donor atoms have received great research interests because of their exceptional physical properties and promising applications. New MOFs of this class are constantly being reported, but 2D metal bis(diselenolene) MOFs based on organic ligands with ortho-disubstituted Se donor atoms have not been synthesized. Herein, a Lewis-acid-induced dealkylation protocol is introduced to the synthesis of arenepolyselenols and related coordination polymers. A triphenylene-derived diselenaborole compound is synthesized and employed as precursor reagent for the synthesis of 2,3,6,7,10,11-triphenylenehexaselenol (H₆TPHS) and the first conductive metal organic framework namely Co-TPHS based on triphenylenehexaselenolate (TPHS^6-). Co-TPHS exhibits porous honeycomb 2D structure and electrically conductive and glassy magnetic properties.
